Last Pass for iPhone? Do all of my apps become null and avoid if I use LP. Another words to use the LP security features, I use Facebook, Amazon etc. ONLY through my Last Pass App browser? Nothing ever directly through their own apps anymore? Seems majorly awkward. Thoughts?

Hi Deb: Thanks for reaching out. Your other apps are not null and void, you would simply use LastPass to help you login to your other apps. You would be able to copy-paste the usernames and passwords if you ever need to login to your other apps, or you can use the LastPass browser to login to any websites if you don’t want to install those apps. Hopefully that clarifies, please let us know if we can be of further help: https://lastpass.com/supportticket.php

Lastpass works very well for me and solves most of the problems that I need to have solved. $12/year isn’t too much for me to pay for this service, when it ensures that the service will continue in the future. The main improvement that I’d like to see is integration with Safari on the iPhone, but I understand that Apple might not allow this. I also see that Symantec has released something similar, but I do my best to avoid dealing with Symantec after they screwed me out of a couple of rebates. So I’ll stick with LastPass as long as I continue to get the sense that my data is secure.

CJoshDoll you should check out GRC.com and search the the Security Now episode where Steve Gibson does a complete look at LastPass and it is the service he uses which is good enough for me. The main take away is that the file is encrypted locally with your key and the only item stored at LastPass in the cloud is the encrypted file which they don’t have your key. So the as long as you use a good master password you don’t have much to worry about.

I use it, but only because it’s the only solution out there. I don’t mind a subscription service, however the model that you are REQUIRED to store your data with LastPass is a serious issue for me (and everyone in the security community)!!! I understand the ease of use it provides, however I’d much rather that be an OPTION not a req. If a KeePass version is ever released that allows direct sync with devices (via iTunes or bonjour) then KeePass will be GONE for me.

Aside from the fact that KeePass is far more versitle and feature rich IMO, the fact it uses local storage with the option to use a storage provider makes it much better.

This is information security we are talking about, and you’re asking us to break the first rule and trust an unknown source. You can provide all the “proof” you want that our data is secure, however we still have to trust you. While it may be darn secure, there’s 2 things no company can prevent: inside unauthorized access and more importantly a govt subpoena.

We all have to make a decision of who or what to trust. For me the LastPass team has earned my trust and that of several security experts and product reviewers. Is LastPass perfect, no nothing is, but LastPass’ track record is extremely clean for a product that is very flexible.

Keepass is a very good product. LastPass is better, and has shown no reason to distrust it.

I’m still amazed that I have not yet since one person claiming with full confidence that their LastPass account was indeed compromised. Heck, I would expect that due to a weak master password, which would the user’s fault, but it appears when users take security seriously, they do and LastPass allows them to do so.

I use LastPass on my iPhone but don’t like the experience on iOS devices that much, why is there still no way to use it as a plugin in a real browser like Safari or for example iCab?On Android you can use it as a plugin as far as I know in Firefox Mobile and Dolphin HD what gives you the great experience you are used to on desktop machines but on the iPhone I hardly ever run it since I just don’t like switching between LastPass and the main browser all the time.

Yes, when you view the site in “edit” you can toggle the password to plain text. Reach out to support@lastpass.com if you do try the app again and have further questions, we’re happy to be of help.
